*This course will run from Sunday, June 13-Thursday, June 17*
Today’s workplaces bring together global teams of people who think, speak, and work differently. Leaders who can work with those differences turn them into a source of creativity and performance. Leading Global Teams helps students develop these capabilities. Leading Global Teams is an experiential, applied leadership course. We will discuss leadership frameworks and best practices based on real-life examples in the workplace today. In addition, the core of the learning is the cohort of students itself. Students will contribute their own stories, challenges, and cultural perspectives, and learn directly through these experiences with each other. This course gives students the space to practice it with peers from around the world. Expect to participate actively, try new approaches in real time, and reflect on what you notice in yourself and others. Students will explore how to: - Recognize how culture shapes the way people communicate, collaborate, give feedback, and handle disagreement - Explore how to lead and build bridges across cultural differences and generational gaps - Surface bias and assumptions, and build empathy for people with different opinions, work styles, cultural norms, and generational perspectives - Communicate with impact through words, voice, and nonverbal presence in one-on-one, small-group, and large-group settings - Adapt how they engage with different stakeholders - Lead healthy debate and courageous conversations, resolve conflict, and create alignment - Build high-performing team cultures grounded in accountability and psychological safety.
